AstraZeneca and J&J, Bassetti: “Vaccines not recommended only for those who take the pill”

AstraZeneca or J&J vaccine “not recommended only for those who take the contraceptive pill”. This is what Matteo Bassetti, director of the Infectious Diseases Clinic of the San Martino hospital in Genoa says, speaking with Adnkronos Salute, specifying that the same argument also applies “to other estrogen-progestin treatments”. “We have seen – he explains – that in young people who took these drugs there was a higher frequency of rare adverse events such as thrombosis: 6-7 cases per million of anti-Covid vaccines. Very rare events, I repeat, but possible”. “In Liguria many are canceling the booking for the AstraZeneca vaccine after the case of the 18-year-old suffering from thrombosis, for which we all cheer for her to recover soon – he concludes – But I appeal to the boys: they must rest assured, all over the world young people were vaccinated and side effects were minimal. ”
